The Golden State Warriors host the Toronto Raptors tonight with superstar Steph Curry returning to action for this perennial-contender-turned-lottery team.
Our man on the scene, Poor Man’s Commish, has been live tweeting about the situation all day and offered this tidbit about Curry’s expected minutes tonight: somewhere between 24 and 28 minutes, which is fairly normal for someone returning from a severe injury.
I need a minute to digest all this. Fun game, liked what I saw with Chriss and Wiggins and Lee.
Poor Lee, man. Played a really solid game for 98% of the night and then blew through all that basketball karma with about 20 seconds of bone headed mistakes
jokes aside, thank you! We really have flattened out after the initial push. We'll probably do like a membership push once a year or something but will just be focused on providing good content and not selling it so hard. So your word of mouth and sharing stuff is really helpful and appreciated
I'm not happy about this thought because he's one of my favorite players, but if Looney's career is really looking in jeopardy...perhaps they should have put him in the deal instead of Spellman.
If we can smack Denver with 10-day guys and hold up against Toronto the next game with no Dray and no Klay...win or lose this one, Dubs bout to be baaaaaaack!
That WAAAARIORS crowd chant at the start of the fourth came from the heart, unprompted. The game was very much in doubt, but the team is hustling hard, playing for each other and with a bit of Steph flair and finds the game is fun again.

He is such a wild card.
Hey folks, if you haven’t subscribed yet please consider it. It’s a miracle the way the creators of LGW have made this space for us.
I will say, I took a risk by paying the full year sub up front and you guys have delivered. No regrets!
Ditto!
ALLY!

Hear Hear!!
Yup, yup, yup! I mean, seriously, the little bit of cash is such a tiny token of your enjoyment factor - admit it!
Curry and Poole should have staggered minutes. And never see the court at the same time!
Didn't realize Poole had 0 pts in 15 mins.
Eric “Wrecking Ball” Paschall was my low key hero this game- young un with max poise
Top players:
1: Paschall
2: Lee
3: Curry, Chriss
HM: Wiggins
Chriss was bad on D. I would swap him and Wiggins. Also Steph #1 - just because 🙂
I would say Chriss was mediocre. Made some plays.
that sky block with like 5 minutes left was dope
Even just getting Dray back makes that one winnable.
But if they get back Vanvleet and Gasol, that kind of evens it out.
We get Klay too and it's another story, for another season.
I'm not happy about this thought because he's one of my favorite players, but if Looney's career is really looking in jeopardy...perhaps they should have put him in the deal instead of Spellman.
It's my understanding that Spellman was sweetener for them to take on Evans
The Warriors needed to either dump Looney's contract or dump 2 of Evans, Poole, and Spellman in order to get under the lux tax.
I'd love to bring him back in the offseason
Lee messed up at the end but he kept us in the game earlier. Live and learn
Imagine if that was Klay instead of Dlee
We would have the 7 point lead. Instead, Lee’d.
That last 30 seconds of Damion Lee might be the worst individual 30 seconds of basketball I've ever seen by any player at any level
Lacob whispered to him he'll get a bonus for keeping the tank alive
I've seen a lot worse from Poole this season lol
I saw worse from Bender earlier in the game
Worse moments sure, but multiple missed free throws open 3s and turnovers is wild
That was brutal and embarrassing, I feel for the guy.
JR Smith and LeBron would like a quick sidebar with you if you have a moment
That is a fair point, I might still say this was worse in a vacuum but the gravity of the situation plays a major role here
:P
You ever notice how when a bad team does something bad at the end of a game, the announcers call it a "microcosm of the season"
Paschall putting his arm around D Lee consoling him for the missed FTs and turnover. Yeah, he muffed it up, but they'll learn from this.
Also is was a great steal by Lee, he just couldn't handle the FTs this time.
holy moly lee lmao
Aww! Lee.
I look forward to when DLee is at the end of the bench where he belongs next year.
Our G-Leaguers and rookies seem to be unable to handle the pressure in late-game situations.
And Damion Lee.
If we can smack Denver with 10-day guys and hold up against Toronto the next game with no Dray and no Klay...win or lose this one, Dubs bout to be baaaaaaack!
Yeah, the team has energy again!
Haha the first time in a LONG time that the Dubs crowd could cheer MVP for Steph without some petty complainers making them feel guilty
COME ON WARRIORS!!
Ugh ... Lee
I really, really hate watching Damion Lee do basketball
And he misses both free throws LOL
Ha you were saying?!
He makes these foul shots I forgive him
Nutz
Feck
No forgiveness
His style of play giveth and taketh. Matt Barnesish a little.
That whole sequence was just like 7 straight Lee screw ups with everybody else playing great
that was amazing
Merry Stephmas everyone!
We got this - let's go
Waaarrrriooorrs!
I can’t believe the crowd buzz!!
This really fun
Lets GO!
Sweet Chriss move to get possession
Wow steph wow
Poole is terrible
My wishlist this off-season is a starting center and a quality 3 and D wing off the bench.
All these wide open 3 bricks are grating...
WCS and GR3
GRIII is okay, but not as the 1st wing off the bench, imo.
Also, nah on WCS, who has a Player Option anyways.
nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Wiggins is going to need to work on his 3 point shooting in the offseason
Great decision-making leading to that Chriss layup
There are alot of open 3’s that are bricked! And put in Mulder rest Dlee
lol imma need a few minutes on the post game thread tonight y'all
this game is wild
wiggs had bricked that wide open 3 that would have tied the game, and it all kinda went to shit after that
Hahahha anybody check that lady behind Nick Nurse chug her wine right quick?
lol, saw it!
This game is lit!
That WAAAARIORS crowd chant at the start of the fourth came from the heart, unprompted. The game was very much in doubt, but the team is hustling hard, playing for each other and with a bit of Steph flair and finds the game is fun again.
Lots of time left, we got this!
It is now in Threezus range!
When do they bring steph back??
Last 4:30-5 minutes would be my guess
3 straight turnovers... still only down 4?
Ugh! Youngsters are not used to this kind of energy and over hyped They need to settle down
4th quarter collapse to preserve the tank!
That don't play here no more 😎
A couple of pretty bad calls gifting Raptors fouls for their players falling over
Reggie Miller was saying that call on Bender was because he led with his knee . Got Ibaka in the thigh
Damn Lee, you idiot
Yeah , worst option
Does Reggie Miller know Bender because he's been coaching him all game lol
These turnovers ...
Sabrina called it on SC30 min
Mr. Poole needs to relax a little
Yeah that was way too flaily all the way down the court
Poole lookin like he's a little overwhelmed to be playing crunch time minutes next to Steph
